  • Maybe a new Subaru driver soon?

    Hello together! I’m seriously thinking about selling my Audi S6 from 2000 and getting me a Subaru Legacy Combi with LPG. Can you maybe advise me on this, e.g. what you have to pay attention to with the model approx. from 2005-2008? Of course, would you like something with sufficient power and enough space for 4 – family members. Are there Legacy models with standard LPG – system? According to customer satisfaction the Subarus should be very good quality, is that really true? (heavy Fra) ge, I know, you can have luck and bad luck when buying a car) So which model with which engine would really be recommended, reliable and cheaper in maintenance than my current vehicle? Thanks already for the support.

  • Need help! Problems with alternator!

    Hello! I have the following problem: When I turn on ALL consumers on my legacy, the charging voltage collapses to approx. 12V, I am experienced myself in car mechanics and electrics. Everything has been measured and the car was already at the dealer and at a free workshop. No one found the error. Of course, LIMA and battery are new and also the belt is ok and also all ground points and plugs are ok! Ultimately a mistake was suspected in the wiring harness. And what should it be? I have bought an identical subi to change the wire harness. Before I tested it again and it has the same phenomenon as my car!!! I guess now that the generator is too weak on the chest. I think it has only 70A. Who knows a solution, or if there is stronger light for this model. On the housing unfortunately there is no power indication. I am for j ede help grateful!! Greetings Ludwig

  • 1.0TSI Longevity

    Nice Sunday to all, Yes, there are already several contributions to the 1.0TSi. But all I find are already a little older and no longer up-to-date. My question would be how much your 1.0TSi (preferably 110PS) has run at the moment and what significant problems have emerged up to now. Furthermore, I would be interested in the general durability. Yes, you can never say that exactly, but you can’t find concrete statements either. Always only “modern gasoline engines keep on average between 150,000 and 2 50,000km. – In my opinion, this is a big difference whether the engine now lasts 150,000km (would be about 6 years for me) or 250,000km (would be 10 years for me). With me, this would be 4 years difference, and 4 years longer on what can save new ones makes a huge difference in the purchase of the new car at the end. Currently, I drive the Seat Leon as a combi with 1.TSi 110hp as a leasing for 60 months/5 years, but play with the idea, this after the 5 years of the Leasin G-company buy off. Or do you think I should just take another new lease after the 5 years? Greetings Fabian

  • Leon battery problem

    Hello I drive a leon 1.4l 16v, this one has currently 162tkm down and has been causing me problems with the battery for some time or years. it all started that I wanted to start the car one day and nothing left > battery empty. I then got started by a workshop here in the place and drove with the owner to his workshop. we built a new battery there and the master there has measured something on the light mesh and also showed me the da i Somehow the span is fluctuating, he still meant that if I didn’t change the lima I would keep catching up with this problem. now I got this new battery from the beginning of this year or was empty and didn’t charge, so we installed a used but full battery and this one has been holding since the beginning of the year… to this day. I’ve noticed for a few days that it’s probably also at the limit when I’ve ever had it 12.7x V on top. in any case I want to go today and nothing goes anymore, the reason is short and then the current is gone. after pushing it ran again and I then measured the battery after about 15 min in the empty run and again 12,7x V on it. now the question, really Lima in the eimer or something else in the direction ? which is already for some time already (where nobody can tell me what it is ) the motor runs in the stand a bit restless and the headlights and tacho lighting is quite le icht am flackern. with how much V should be ine battery ? my old man thinks at 12,xx V you would be absolutely in order. I have unfortunately no possibility to have the lima measured again since the workshops here want to fix the problem at once. ahja sometimes when I start the leon he goes straight out again, he then runs completely restless and if I want to give gas he drains off. I hope here someone can help me, I also have not so much the mass of ld that I could buy “eben” ne lima

  • Central locking system

    Hello everybody, I’m new here, so I’m sorry if I should forget anything. I bought a Leon, 1.6, 105 HP, as a second car. Year of manufacture 2001. The vehicle is great, it has been kept. In Jan. was the one again for inspection, new timing belt ect. for 11oo euro. The owner bought a new car, therefore sold. Know also the son of the owner, therefore the details about the car are all according to reality. The only thing that was mentioned: Sometimes ” The ZV, i.e. the re. blinker, stays on. If you close it up and off again, it goes out. I checked it myself several times. Yesterday I took over the car and of course made a ride into the mountain area in the afternoon. The car is just great. When I arrived at home, it did not work again. Unfortunately also not with repeated attempts. Light remained on and the turn signal then does not work. So I called the ADAC. Was on Unfortunately, instead of my 1.6, he entered a 1.8 engine into the test unit. He said it would be the same. Since he could not call up my turn signals there (securing was OK), he said that I had to go to the workshop. The small control unit had a defect. Who can help me here. I also called my screwdriver, who said Seat workshop would be better, since they could “read” for the first time.

  • Question about the rear-view camera

    Good day together, my neighbor drives an Ateca built in 2021. This vehicle has a parking aid with camera at the back. He now wonders if when the camera is inserting the reverse when the displayed lines have to move with when driving backwards. Problem is that he has got a new one on guarantee and that he does not move but the opinion is that the old where it still works has done so. Thank you in advance.

  • Rear brake Leon

    Hello guys, our Leon (Bj 2002) has a rather rusty brake disc on the rear axle. We bought it in February 2013 and before that he seems to have stood around for a long time. The question that arises to me, is it because of the pads? And is it enough if I renew the discs and the pads or can it also be a fixed seat? or is there too much air in the system? hope one can help me further. That’s how the brake looks at the moment, no matter how hard I put into the pedals la tsche: http://data.motor-talk.de/…/…axle-brake-8264159942943871578.jpg

  • Leon ST Facelift FR vs. Xcellence: seats and centre console

    Hi Together, I have a few questions about the facelift of the current Leon. Drive a Leon ST FR (184PS HS) at the moment. Question: 1. Has the center console become narrower due to the absence of the manual parking brake? Find the already very wide on my 2013 Leon – my right leg could use a little more space 😉 2. I read that the seats in the Xcellence would be slightly more padded than in the FR – is that right? Greetings

  • Leon MJ 2018

    Hello everybody, I was at the IAA last week and wanted to warm up my anticipation on my ordered Cupra 300 ST 4drive with a visit to the SEAT stand. There was exactly this car on display but with a few details that were not available so far: – Active Info Display – Beats Audio Soundsystem – Changed Alu entry bars (only Cupra logo, no “CUPRA” lettering anymore) and something I can’t remember anymore According to the lady at the stand, these are features I couldn’t find any official information about this in spite of google. She also meant the Beats-Audio System is offered in addition to the SEAT Sound System, i.e. as an upper premium offer. Do you know something more precise or does someone have official information? With such information from hostesses at the stand you have to be more careful… 😉 Thank you! TT.
